It is our pleasure to endorse three candidates for the April 5, 2011 election for Trustee of the Village. Three spots are opening and we have weighed each candidates credentials, contributions to the community, integrity, honesty, morality, and overall ability to reduce the taxes in the Village. We also took into account those that we felt would work in the best interest of the residents, not in the best interest of themselves. These positions are public servant positions with minimal pay.
Regretfully, some candidates did not make this list because we felt they were too easily prone to being "fence straddlers" and being swayed in their decision to do right by the residents, over their decisions to do right by the current administration strong holds.
The three candidates we are endorsing for the three vacating seats are Rhonda Reed-Slaughter, Bob (Robert) Bowen, and Joe Napionello.
Rhonda has been an integral part of educating residents about the issues in the community through her web site. As a local watch dog of governmental spending affairs, she has brought to light major issues such as Golf Course losses, Airport struggles, and Americana Estates debts. Rhonda operates on the phrase "slow and steady wins the race", implying that she will be there, be strong, and support the residents. She is an unmoveable force that holds an accounting degree and background while being a proud mother of two.
Robert Bowen is a strong voice for the residents. His unwavering demand for change has been seen at the local board meetings. He has brought to light the tremendous debt that the current trustees have burdened us and our future generations with. This debt, per capita, is the largest in the state of Illinois. With Bolingbrook on the brink of Bankruptcy, there is nobody more hated by the current administration then Mr. Bowen who demands answers about why the debt is so high. He has exposed the current administration for not having a proper plan to reduce the increasing frivolous spending habits and debts of the Village. He has confronted the Mayor about the Water Company problems and exposed the people that have the most to gain with the out of control spending. He will fight for each and every resident as the proud Christian, father of two), and Procurement Project Manager he is. His expertise is to negotiate contracts that do not fatten wallets and would serve Bolingbrook with a new found freedom of eliminating pay to play in local politics and the ability to lower taxes.
Joe Napionello is a strong business man who has devoted his life to marketing and sales. This is an area that Bolingbrook residents need, as marketing the losing ventures (golf course, Americana estates and airport) can reduce taxes, and improve Bolingbrook's viability which can bring businesses, jobs, and fill up foreclosed homes. His ideas are worth listening to and his knowledge of current business dealings with the Village can bring change to the new companies looking to move into Bolingbrook without pay to play supporting the need. Bolingbrook needs to maintain small businesses, which have been eliminated little by little while the current administration fights only for wallet fattening chain businesses. These smaller businesses reflect the culture and diversity that Bolingbrook residents demand and that the current system fights against. Joe is a morally sound and strong individual who will not straddle a fence when a tough decision comes his way.
Vote strong this election cycle. Vote for change and hope for Bolingbrook. This is the year that a difference can be made. We support the candidates above because of the issues we stated and the new blood and tenacity they bring to the mix. We need strong individuals to balance a board of weak, rubber stamped trustees.
To support their causes, you can send donations, or offer time and help during campaigning.
See you at the polls!
